I always thought that making pizza was time-consuming and difficult until, on a whim,  I decided to purchased premade pizza dough a few years ago at Trader Joe’s.  Lickety split I had a hot, fresh and delicious pizza.  Since then, I have been trying different topping and flavor combinations from Goat and Red Pepper to Egg, Tomato, and Fresh Basil.

Croque-Monsieur is one of my favorite sandwiches so why not make a pizza from those great toppings?  And why not add my own twist – making it healthier?   I substituted honey dijon sauce for bechamel sauce and added fresh pears and thyme.  The result is a unique twist on pizza.  This Ham and Swiss Cheese Pizza with Dijon Sauce is creamy, cheese, salty and a little bit zippy from the honey dijon sauce.  You will love that that the prep work is less than 15 minutes for this pizza.  Oui Oui!
